摘要： The present invention comprises a method and system for configuring the language of a BIOS of a computer system. The method and system comprise providing a plurality of BIOS images in the computer system, each of the plurality of BIOS images being related to a particular language, selecting one of the pluralities of BIOS images based on the language supported by the computer system and utilizing the selected BIOS to configure the computer system. Through the use of the method and system in accordance with the present invention, the language being supported by the computer system is determined when the computer system is booted up as opposed to when the computer system is being built. This results in an increase in manufacturing productivity since original equipment manufacturers can build computer systems without having to worry about language restrictions.

摘要： Described is a computer system which is coupled to a remote computer via a data communication link. The computer system has a normally closed enclosure and is capable of securing data retained within the system against unauthorized access. The computer system includes an erasable memory element mounted within the enclosure for selective activation to active and inactive states and for receiving and storing a security password when in the active state. A manually operable option switch is mounted within the enclosure. The option switch is operatively connected with the erasable memory element and manually settable by a user of the computer system for setting the erasable memory element to the active and inactive states. A communication line detector is operatively connected with the erasable memory element for detecting a disconnection of the data communication link and for clearing any stored security password from the erasable memory element in response to a change of the communication link detector between a first state and a second state.

摘要： A method is provided of uniquely binding, through connection, a subsystem device having restricted information space for storing code, to a system having a structure for generating and delivering a unique code to identify the system to the information storage space in the subsystem. The method comprises determining if the information storage space in the subsystem has information therein when the subsystem is connected to the system. If no information is contained in the information storage space in the subsystem, the system writes the unique code from the system to the information storage space in the subsystem. If information is in the information storage space, that information is compared with the unique code in the system, and operation of the system is allowed if, and only if, the information in the information storage space matches the unique code generated by the system. A structure for performing this method is also provided.

摘要： Disclosed is a personal computer system which includes a central processing unit (CPU) coupled to a direct access storage device (DASD) and a random access memory (RAM). A flash memory module is coupled to the CPU and an input/output (IO) bus and includes a basic input output system (BIOS) stored therein. The BIOS is effective for responding to the energization of the computer system by initiating a power on self test (POST). The BIOS is further operative on completion of the POST for transferring a portion of BIOS from the module to the RAM and for transferring control of the of the computer system to the BIOS portion. The portion of BIOS is operative to load a protected mode operating system (OS) into RAM and transfer control to the OS. The system further includes a logic circuit coupled to the flash memory module and the IO bus for allowing the BIOS in flash memory to be accessed while the protected mode OS is running.

摘要： Hypervisors are a new technology in the industry that enable multiple Operating Systems to co-exist on a single client. The use of a hypervisor provides a novel approach to thermal fan control. The hypervisor is able to fire up a maintenance Operating System on demand or have it running from the powering of the computer. The maintenance Operating System continuously monitors the status of the user Operating System and determines if the system is within the desired fan noise profile by measuring noise levels using means well known in the art. If the system seems to be drifting out of the desired profile, the maintenance Operating System will determine what type of action is required and choose the most appropriate course of action. These actions can be performed by either the maintenance Operating System or the hypervisor, as appropriate.

摘要： A method for controlling file access on computer systems is disclosed. Initially, a virtual machine manager (VMM) is provided in a computer system. In response to a write request, the VMM determines whether or not a location field is valid. If the location field is not valid, then the VMM writes the write request information to a storage device; but if the location field is valid, then the VMM encrypts the write request information before writing the write request information to the storage device. In response to a read request, the VMM again determines whether or not a location field is valid. If the location field is not valid, then the VMM sends the read request information to a read requester; but, if the location field is valid, then the VMM decrypts the read request information before sending the read request information to the read requester.
